Status: offline 		Hey guys, I have over 30 flights on the mustang now. The stock soft engine mount rubber is starting to fall apart. Is anyone just attaching the engine right to the mount with out the soft mount?

Thanks, Rare Bear -

I'll use those servos. ... unless I get the DX 7 servos and I'll see which ones will work.

Today, I started glassing the fuse for Reno style paint. I can't handle the silver and baby blue.

Status: offline 		Great thread! Enough info to make my head blow. Not to take away from the .60 size Mustang dialog, but I know lots of you guys also fly the World Models .40's at the basin. I'm about to pull the trigger on ordering one of these smaller racers and wanted to know what powerplant to drop in. I've seen the YS 1.10's in these and I know they are ballistic. That may be a little more than I am looking for though. I'd love to be in the 100 mph range but I think the 1.10 is rip the wings off fast!

Taildragger, Rare-Bear...

How would the Saito .82, Saito 1.00 and the YS .63 compare in the smaller World Models Stang? Any opinions since you guys have so much experience with these planes?

Status: online 		By the way WM also offers Park Flyers versions of bigger planes: Cap 232, Mustang Voodoo, etc. They're light yet very strong balsa-based kits, very much like their bigger brothers. They don't cost much (about 95$ - Outrunner motor INCLUDED!) and they're a ball to fly. I currently use the EP Cap 232 and it's a real joy.

nope.

it's a proven design combo. the 110 won't rip the wing off.

remember, you can always throttle back and this way, you have room to grow in terms of speed.

once ya do 130mph and get used to it after 3-4 flights, it's like no big deal.

Status: offline 		Would the YS.63 even be worth putting in the smaller mustang or will I be begging for more power? I read some other thread that said the plane still performs with the .63 and with the 1.10 the speed is amazing but the plane gets heavy and difficult to land. Would there be any issues with ground clearance and prop strikes with the bigger YS as well? Not to mention the old "speed costs" addage. The .63 saves me a few bucks too!

"I read some other thread that said the plane still performs with the .63 and with the 1.10 the speed is amazing but the plane gets heavy and difficult to land. "

not true. it's ez to land, provided you have the c.of.g. set up correctly

"Would there be any issues with ground clearance and prop strikes with the bigger YS as well?"

we use apc 13x10's and there is no issue
